! ThermaSteel™ is the Building System for the 21st century
! The ThermaSteel™ System is a unique patented process
utilizing the power of composite technology. A structural
grade double steel frame with rigid, fire retarding EPS
bonded to the steel frame with heat activated adhesive,
produces a light weight composite panel that provides
structural framing, insulation, and vapor barrier in one fast,
high-tech step that will not delaminate.
! ThermaSteel™ Panels are versatile. They are used for roofs,
ceilings and floors, as well as interior and exterior walls.

! Everyone!
! Customers who want to build with environmentally friendly
“green” products
! Customers who want to lower operational heating and
cooling costs in today’s world of ever increasing energy
prices
! Customers who want to have a structurally sound building
– earthquake, flood and hurricane areas
! Whatever your residential, commercial or industrial
building style, ThermaSteel™ building components can
meet your construction design needs

Recyclable
Lower heating and cooling costs limit the burning of fossil fuels, saves
the planet
Does not contribute to deforestation and increased greenhouse
gasses
It would take 100 trees 8.5 inch wide and 20 foot long to build a
1500 square foot home. (Argonne National Laboratory, Division of Educational
Programs)

It would take the steel from two recycled cars to build a 1500 square
foot home using ThermaSteel™
ThermaSteel™ panels are approved for use in all climate regions. They
pass the Miami-Dade Hurricane standards, seismic Zone nine in Russia,
and European BBA code #1449. In addition to being structurally superior, our
panels also meet the Energy Star standards for environmental conservation.
They are fire and pest resistant, and offer many construction advantages.
Meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US dept of energy

Fewer labor costs
Saves 50% to 75% on heating and cooling
operational costs
Lower construction costs as compared to
wood, brick and block, concrete
construction, SIP, and ICF
EPS is the best insulation

Effective R-Value
Approximate Total Installed Cost
** Price Performance Ratios
The higher the ratio the better the system
Price Performance Ratio relates the cost of the installed systems to the effective R-Value and speed of constriction.
ThermaSteel™ is the fastest system available and does not require a crane.
First time to use ThermaSteel™ -5 men installed 234 linear feet of 9' insulated wall panels in 7 hours
Weight also plays a important factor in the structure. ThermaSteel™ has a very high strength to weight ratio.
Note: Custom homes may be higher
Prices may vary due to labor cost in your area.

Insect (termite), mildew and fire retardant
Hurricane and earthquake resistant
Flat straight walls and ceilings that prove the
test of time
ThermaSteel™ Panels are lightweight and easy
to install. A 10-foot panel weighs about 40 to
60 pounds and can be carried and installed by
one or two people
ThermaSteel™ exceeds the national standards
for strength in building materials
No sheathing, vapor barrier or insulation
necessary eliminating 3 steps in traditional
framing

• Each panel has a steel overlap strip along the vertical edge at the outside
face which overlaps the edge of the next panel approximately ¾’ when set
in place. This overlap strip serves as a point of attachment between
panels using No. 8 ” self-tapping screws @ 12” O.C.
• The wall panels are placed in a No.16 or No.18 gauge steel channel.
• After the walls are erected, No.16, No.18 or No.20 gauge steel channels
are attached as top tracks.
• The metal channels are bolted to the foundation. Panels are secured in
place by screwing through the channel and into the panel.
• If necessary, typical X-bracings; metal columns and beams; lintels and
headers; and any other metal reinforcement, can be added to the system.
• Roof panels are set and attached together to bear on roof beams, trusses
or bearing wall plates.

ThermaSteel™ will work with your customized blueprints
to construct a unique home to your
specifications.
ThermaSteel™ materials can be shaped to accommodate
creatively designed doors,
windows and skylights.
All traditional exterior materials work with the
ThermaSteel™ system.
Thermasteel™ has the strength to support a variety of
roofing materials.
